How to Get MATIC When You Don't Have Any on Polygon (Gasless Swap) | Better than faucets!!

Short format video today. A brief but helpful guide on getting MATIC when you don't have enough MATIC already to facilitate a swap! Eliminates the need for faucets effectively, and it's very fast and easy.

Oct 23rd 2021 EDIT: Polygon moved this from the drop-down menu into the Wallet; it appears on the left side menu as "Swap For Gas Token"

Huge shoutout to @Dazzy on the Ethermine Discord for bringing this to my attention!

You don't know how stressed out I was over this silly issue. Watching your video I literally said out loud 'you are f'ing kidding me', such a simple solution to such a ridiculous problem, wow

Say you have ETH payout from a mining pool paid on Polygon chain. In your other video, you swapped ETH to MATIC on QuickSwap. Can you just do the swap here? Or is QuickSwap better in any way?

Not sure when you made this video but that option is no longer available

Thought I found a hail marry solution, but I've already been attempting swap for gas for 2 days now with "initializing" spinning on two laptops for two days with two respective metamask wallets. Any luck these days using this feature???

Thanks for the video, was really annoyed at getting stumped by not having a penny's worth of MATIC in my account to resell an NFT I bought lol

I Swapped Some WETH To 4.3 Matic By That Method. Transaction Was Successfull. Metamask Showed Me That I Got 4.3 MATIC & Everything Went Well.
.
But When I Opened My Metamask Wallet Again After A Day, All My Matic Were Gone. My Wallet Showed Me That I Have 0 MATIC.
WHERE DID ALL MY MONEY GO?
In Polygonscan, It Shows That I Received My Matic. But They're Not In My Wallet At All...
Can Anyone Help Me With That?
Why Is That? What Happened To My Matic?

[JasonJowett]

How long is the initializing? I presume it's downloading the whole blockchain? 20mins later...

[georgewilliams]

It always shows 0 on any account. I can see the money on each chain but not when i am on the matic chain so I can't swap

[manuleimus]

Excelent solution, thank you very much!

[TravisGondo]

what happens if you exchange it for USDC ? Can you then send it to a usdc address or is it only on the matic network

[openboxtok]

Is there any way to retrieve a polygon transfer to binance?

[shanejowitt]

and what do you do now when that gas swap is down and all faucets?

[JMcC_]

Is there any way to see the ETH fair market price when using polygon network payouts in polygonscan?
